There are Intimations from the sesshore re torts that high noon has teen pissed, and onr bronzed brothers and sisters will soon torn their faces homeward. The mountain resorts keep np a brave front, and many enthnslastlc cottagers talk of the pleasures of September. The cottacers atCresson are sadlj disappointed at not hiring Baby McKee and his family among them, but they abide la hope inspired by Becretary Halford. To-day is memorial Bnndayat Chautauqua, and eight days more will conclude the summer's programme. The pleasure seekers at Lakewood were neTer hap. pier. Saratoga has cone wild over the Tally Hos, and the fashionable throng is reluctant to prepare for the homeward trip. JT0T 80 SERIOUS NOW. Chautaiiqaa In Taking oa Gay BInnnera Bad Discharging; the Student. ntTICIAI. TEt-EGKAJf TO TSX DTSrATCTM LAKE CHATJTATJQrA. N, Y.. August 16. Chantanqna has dropped her Hebrew and her Tdtrln, forgotten her medieval history and ancient mythology, and turned her mind to things more enjoyable if intellectually lighter. The programme for the remaining ten days will be the brightest of the year, and the assem hly may truly be called a "worldly Chautau qua." Music is now having f nil swav. The great chorus under Dr. Palmer is a no less important part of our musical programme than the au dience to an amphitheater lecture. Twice a dar it meets and the musical seer and com poser or New York drills them in the elements of song. Many are attracted here by the training to be received from the leadership and Instruc tion in the cboir. Like the philosopher of old who said, "No one need enter here without a knowledge of geometry." so Dr. Palmer de clares no one may enter bis chorus without the knowledge of the art of reading music What an inspiration it must f Ornish to a pulpit ora tor to listen to the opening prelude from these 800 well trained voices. A BEALSI OP DAYLIGHT. Peaceful, beautiful Chautauqua, with cool nights and pleasant, warm days: no mosquitoes, or if there are any they are not blue blooded and confine themselves entirely to the sunken eyed students, which also reminds us that the last crank has gone the stndent of the Semitic languages. A very pitiable sight which engages the charitable sympathy of all is the poor chap, aged no less than 40, who is so very classical and wanders about stud Ing barbarian gibber ish, while the knees are out of the only pair of trousers he has got on earth. Chautauqua draws many men of letters and culture to her shores. John Babberton has been drinking in the Chautauqua Lake breezes for the last two weeks. Rumor has it that be is gathering material for a Chautauqua romance. At any rate, the author of "Helen.s Babies" is enjoying himself immensely, and has become a thorough Chautanquan. Thomas Nelson Page, the famous novelist and writer came direct from Lon don to Chantanqua to fill his engagement with the management, and next week tbe author of the popular political romance, "Looking Back ward." will talc on his favorite tneme of Na tionalism. Mrs. G. R. Alden. better known as "Pansv," in whose honor the class of '87 of the C.L.S. C. was named, alnayssnends her sum mers here at her pleasant c.it . ge. OTHER GBEAT PU..SOXAGE3. Thomas Higglnson, who ius the delight of all who beard him, has gone, but was more than pleased with the associations, a high com pliment from one whose life has been spent within the classic shades of Harvard. Every one knows that next to himself Dr. Buckley, the inimitable and courageous editor of the Chrittian Advocate, of New York City, likes Chautauqua best. Having appeared upon tbe platform lacking three of SO times, he is a most capabie judge. Prof. H. H. Boyesen, of Columbia College, who has made an enviable reputation in the field of fiction, is always present at the summer meetings. The face of Judge Tourgee. tbe author of "A Fool's Errand' is not an uncommon one in the lobbies. Up the hill on the broad highway leading from tbe lake to the sleepy little conn try seat of Mayville, in a little square office at one corner of the yard, Mr. Tourgee does his literary work, which consists of fiction and treatises on social and political subjects. He is always spoken of by the alow-going inhabi tants, as the "Judge," ana Is well liked by the village folk, who are willing to point him out at every opportunity. FEIEKD OP THE BOYS. Not more than seven miles over a hilly and picturesque road leading down a gradual de scent of 700 feet from tbe basin of Lake Chau tauqua to the shores of Lake Erie is another peaceful village just as sleepy but twice as pretty, and here dwells "Harry Castleman," tbe friend of evervboy and girl in the land, whose stories of adventures and interest to the young have been published far and near for many years. lathis line of writing he has no superior. His real name is Charles Fosdick, and he is a quiet citizen and many of his fellow townsmen So not know of his fame. The various stopping places about tbe lake have been nicknamed ty tbe visitors. Lake wood is called "The Saratoga" and Ureenhurst the Newport of the lake. Beinus Point re ceives the appelation of "Baby Point? Point "Whiteside, "Buzzard's Nest;" Victoria Point. "Crow's .Nest," and Chautauqua, well, it is sometimes called "The Religious Place." Lakewood lazy and luxurious is now in the heyday of gayety. The milltarv, the Grays of Cleveland, Ohio, are here. Hotels and cottages are crowded with guests. The dances takes place each evening, and frequent swell ger mans and hops are the regnlar order of the hour. The military company are encamped in the large park and is undergoing rigid camp routine and drill. PITTSBTJBO GUESTS. The Kent House has more than its share of Pittsburgers. Late arrivals are: E. L.

' BrSCIAXj T21TOEJLX TO TKB DMFATCS.I 8A K A T O O A, AugUSt IS. Did you ever ride on a tally-ho? What, noT" then you oneht to, for verily the acme of tbe season's pleasure cannot be reached until a trip on one of Slorah's coaches lias been accom plished. Saratoga Is plentifully supplied with the means of recreation. but among them all sot one is more popular than the tally-ba That it is a novelty that wears well the liberal and appreciative patron age attesu. You will go first for the novelty or because it appears to be the fashionable ttesg to .dot afterward 70a go, and go tx. rSSLfc- Yfl 1 1r v. quently.xorthe interne enjoyment it affords yen. To those who haveever seen a tally-ho no more correct idea can be given than that to be obtained from the graphic description of that beautiful and gifted authoress. Marietta Holly. as mouthed by quaint, homely, old Samath Allen when astonishing the natives of Jones vllle with an account of the wonderful sights seen by her and her "lawful partner" at "8ara togy." In addition to the "big mass of chariots and horsemen and carts and carriages' and great buggies and little ones, there came some high big coaches as big as our spare bedroom, and as high as the roof on our horse barn, with six horses bitched to 'em, all rnunln oyer on top with men an' wimmen. and children and parasols and giggles and na-ha's. And a man was up behind a soundin' out on a trumpet, a dretful sort of a high, sweet note not dwindlin down to the end as some music does, but kinder crinklin' round and endln' up in the air every time." That is the tally-ho, with its gay load of gaily dressed ladles and their handsomely escorts, as It goes and comes twice each day. GOOD OF AX AFTEBSOOiT. After an evening at the hop. when morning lassitude is often the consequence a ride to the lake through a shady country with light hearted companions, and the cheer of the clear ringing tones of tbe jolly trumpeter chiming in so appropriately with the "giggles- ana mo "ha-ha's," tbe trampling of the steeds and tbe rattle of wheels, will be found much more in spiring and useful than the morning spent in bed and will better prepare you for the events of the day. And equally dellzhtf ol is the ride on top one of these coaches during an afternoon when the sun renders promenading uncomfortable, and reading on the little piazza is drowsy pastime. Starting on tbe trip yon are first bowled up Broadway past the Grand Union, Congress Hall, United States and other mam moth hotels, each one containing the population of a food-sized town, and whose guests will give you a good-humored Chautau qua salute as you pass on and out past elegant snmrner honses with their fountain-sprayed, velvety lawns and wealth of flowers, throneh Woodland Park, which contains the magnifi cent residence of Judge Hilton, with its group of family bouses; mighty forests, pine groves, acres of lawns unobstructed views of hills, val leys, lakes and mountains; through the Indian camp, past tbe race course; on to Yeddo. the summer home of Spencer Trask, celebrated not so much for his millions as for bis liberality with them: still on four miles further to the lake, where you will be landed on the piazza at the "Moon," and there you find pleasure at its height, and the place full enough without you. Piazzas, lawns, summer honses and boathouses are crowded with fashionable revelers, who have stopped, just as you have, for one of the Moon's famous game dinners served with wine or cafe a la creme, and real cream at that, and Saratoga chips that might be eaten in your costliest gloves with no risk of greasing them. BY THE MOONLIGHT. Everybody who has beard of Saratoga has beard of the Moon, and who goes to Saratoga goes to the .Moon or forfeits one-naif his en joyment. And then the return trip I The rid home "by tbe light of the moon T' Who can describe tbe spectacular effect of each a fairy like ride through these same groves: here the "blackness of darkness," there patched into brightness by a stiaggling moonbeam, every where the do-ml-sol-do of tne coach horn echo ing through wooded hills and glens: the gay ride down Broadway, past the same great hotels now ablaze with light, and finally let down at your own door after a final and prolonged blast irom tne ougie mat "Kinoer ennuis -rouna ana ends away np in tbe air." Saratoga is tbe only resort having the slx-ln-hand tally-ho coaches: and in the fall this line will be taken to Washington and become a recreative feature of that city of amusements. Mr. Frank Del Correll,- a bngler on one of Slorah's coaches, has on exhibition before tbe tally-bo office a map of Washilgton which is tbe center of attraction. Mr. Correll was formerly connected with the geodetic work in that city and this map is a fine piece of work. It sboirs the route to be taken by the coaches in Washington and the location of over GO places of interest along the route. It is sate to propbesy these coach rides will become very popular in tbe city not only for the enjoyment afforded, bnt for the opportunity of an addi tional costume for the ladies, and quite as likely for gentlemen also, f of to tell the truth they are giving tbe fair sex quite a chase for tbe lead in effective and picturesque costum ing. TEE OLD DUESS STJTT. Right here I would like to suggest that be fore any further attention be given to the twist of a tie. the dimensions of trousers, the cut or decorations of the blazer, width of a sash, shape of a hat or the latest tip of it, the correct color for gloves or any detail of a perfect toilet of tbe masculine gender, let the inventive and creative mind turn Its at tention to the needed reform in tbe dress suit. How men can turn out for the bops in a suit that has every appearance of being tbe same be was served in at supper a few hours before, is past the female understanding. Think you if female waiters served guests in train and decollette women would appear later, looking as if they were on a lark and had exchanged clothes with their servants? By tbe way. there is the suggestion of a remedy, in this, for the objectionable low-cut gown. Bnt let gentlemen at once adopt tbe round about or pea jarket for full dress if their wait ers are to continue in the swallow tall livery. It is not enough that a distinguishing necktie be wore, as has been suggested. Tht Is good enongh as far as it goes, but it does not go far enough to avoid a repetition' of embarrassing mistakes snch as frequently have happened at "crush" affairs where guests were unac quainted. AproDos of the tally-ho, here is aconnmdrum propounded bv a Saratoga "summer girl." "Why is this tally-bo coach load of people like a school of methods?" When the answer was given up she replied with a very scholarly ex pression, "Because we have our tutor with ns." lixa. CAPE MAY'S GREATEST WEEK, The Resort Has Brekea All Retards ana Will Get Up the Gait,' ISrEClAL TXtXOBAK TO TOT SISrATCB.l Cape Ma.t. N. J.i August 18.-It is regarded by hotel and business men generally that to night ends the greatest week of the season, and perhaps of many seasons. There is a probabil ity, however, that the rush will last about two weeks longer than it usually does. In this case, about tbe third week in September will be the wind-up period. There is a peculiarity of a Cape May season, and that is, when tbe season ends It ends "all in a bunch," and "tha bottom drops out," almost without notice.

The guests at the Springs Hotel have been enjoying themselves by out door sports. Horse back riding,coaching parties and tennis matches hare been the order of the week, while tbe cool evenings have been the means of crowding the ballroom and ten-pin al leys with lively crowds. The demand on the management of the Springs Hotel for rooms throughout the entire month of September has compelled them to vary from the rule of clos ing early In September, and the prospects for a big crowd throughout the whole month are very flattering. Mountain climbing in parties of a dozen or more are getting popular and In almost every instance an amateur photographer accompanies tbe crowds who take the party on some moun tain peak or In shady nook. OAS CITY PEOPLE. Joseph Stadtfleld, Esq., of Pittsburg, is hers to recuperate. Mr. J. Woods and wife, of Pittsburg, are here for a two weeks' stay.

Atlanta City Still In the Hands of Pitts, burgers and Therefore Lively. fSrECIAI, TSLZQBAX TO THE DISPATC7M ATliAKTlo Crrr, N. J., August 15. There is no cessation in the number of ocean-bound pleasure seekers from all points in Western Pennsylvania, and especially from Allegheny county. It has now become a very pertinent question: "Do the residents of the Gas City summer at any other resort than Atlantic City?" It seems as if the stranger who halls from the district named turns up at every slip, at every hop, every bathing point the Pblladelphlan is unexpectedly roomed with him. In the dining room eight of the 10 or 12 who occupy seats thereat are Pittsburgers bent on a jolly visit. Frequently you are greeted with, "Are you going to the Pittsburg bop at the Albion to night?" or "Messrs bo and So, from the Du quesne Club, are going to sing this evening at the United Btates Hotel; quite exclusive, you know," or "Did you hear that Senator Charles Robinson and his colleagues were entertained last night by Messrs. William R. Leeds and David Lane at Colonel Mehrer's new Inlet Pavilion?"-Thus It goes from one week's end to another. The first society people ot Pittsburg, New York and Boston are getting so exclusive these days that a demand has been made for direct Pullman car service between their city homes and tbe resorts. They even want conveyance by rail almost to the threshold of the hotel of their choice. This well known and rapidly growing feeing Is what has prompted, the pro jectors of the large hotel at the foot of Massa chusetts avenue to as ins rauroaas to secure a right of way. Tbe old and beautiful fable of Beauty and the Beast was- portrayed by 0 little artists at Mansion Pavilion the other evening before a crowded audience. The five little Lord Faunt leroys sang and danced with much vim. Miss Nellie Morrison gained much, applause, and Miss Mamie McGlade looked the fairy queen to perfection. A very good concert was given at the Man sion Wednesday evening, under the manage ment of Profs. Retter and Kirk.

Tbe Eu. reka Mineral Springs, with their health-giving properties, the beauti ful and picturesque scenery along the wind ing Venango river, the splendid fishing and un excelled boating, along with the fine hotels, have already told their tale of prosperity this season, and the outlook is brighter than ever. Pittsburg' alone is furnishing orer 100 guests, and the Pittsburgers are the people. They all are here either to get' well, if they are ill. or to have a good time if they are well, and un doubtedly they succeed at whatever they at tempt. The most unique and interesting entertain ment that has been given this season was a "mock marriage" Monday evening, the partici pants all being' girls, principally from Pitts burg.

Ths steam launch was gaily decorated with flags and bunting, and with her colors flying, took the party far up the' river on a very enjoyable trio. Another "hay rack" ride was indulged in Thursday evening, the jolly young people selecting Meadyllle for tnelr objective point, where a short visit was made, after which they had a happy Urire home.

JTblladelphla Times. 3 Good old Dr. "Willis, of Ocala, Fla., port ly, innocent, bis-hearted and talkative, was in town yesterday for the first time since the "forties." The Doctor has a great hobby painting and be still dreams of becoming famous as an artist. Indeed, he is so ad dicted to painting that he could talk of nothing else to those whom he accosted, and his whole talk was a'running commentary on art as depicted in Chestnut street store windows. A young man was looking at a painting displayed in a certain store window repre senting a scene in the Kaaterskill Moun tains, when the doctor peered over his shoulder and exclaimed: "Waal, now, are you interested in art? If you ore let me tell vou there's somethin' the matter with that'ere picture. It's too dead like. There ought ter be a deer over there in the corner, or a rabbit jumping the fence. That's what it wants to make it all right. And look at them 'ere trees!" Here there was a look of unutterable dis gust, "Ton seem to be a pretty nice fellow," said the doctor to the young man, "and I'll tell you the secret of makin' pictures. Jess yon go where there's a lot of 'em and from one of 'em pick out this part, and from an other that, and after a while yon'll get an original picture that'll have all the good points of tbe ones you looked at. That's the way that I do it. "Why.I painted more'n a thousand shells you know those big open fellows in that way. Only the other week I painted one and Consin Zeth says to me: 'Waal, T thought you were a-copyin', and they're you've painted a new, original pic ture.' V And I had stolen all those different parts from other picturesl "But," continued the old doctor, waxing confidential, "the great dream of my life is to paint our Savior. I am goin' to picture Him at the well. I've got now a photo graph that came from Italy that'll do for a model. That 'ere picture (Christ before Pilate) is an old chromo. It ain't no good, no how. It makes Him look like a crank. He was amiable in face and character. I have always been deeply impressed with and pictured in my mind the sweet, tender expressiveness, of His mild countenance and that is the way I'm agoin' to paint it when I realize the ambition of my life."

THIS is the season when "everybody is out of town," asa visit to Central Park Sun- dayatternoons, during II trA n,Hll MMnoAvt B..JT? ciently proves. An immense crowd gath ered there is totally unlike the throng later inthe season. All the numerous seats are oc cupied, a dense msss stands in the open spaces for a long dis tance about tbe music pavilion packed, like, sardines in a box, by the police to give room for the endless double line of promenaders np and down the Mall, while a host sprawls on the grassy slopes in costless, somnolent abandon. The ear hears the city street vernacular mingled with New England, '"Western and Southern idiom, along with a jumble of foreign accents. Then there is every shade of color that the hnman countenance can assume. The dress of this motley assembly, too, rnns through the whole scale of costume, often being fearful and wonderful as to effect. Ton have the small lord of the gutter in rags .and raptures, whistling the popular refrain and frantically applauding the piccolo soloist; the cash girl in wide sash, flaming poppies and broken boots; the Bowery dnde in paste diamonds and big headed walking stick; the rustic with his shy sweetheart, and now and then a gracefal figure set off in tbe latest style of everything, followed by devouring eyes and a whisper of delight: "Seel there goes an actress!" A BIT OT PHILOSOPHY. Occasionally you meet a well-dressed, rev fined stay-at-home, who surveys the throng with a half-studious, half-amused air, and emphatically decides that "everybody is out of town." Stand at the bead of the Mall at the close of a Sunday concert and watch the crowd divide. Scores and scores of young girls, all with an effort at adornment in their dress, pass in a painful array of ttoop ing shoulders, thin chests, awkward gait, and faces that have only yonth and gay smiles to make them attractive. Scores of yonng matrons, whose- visages the pride of maternity, the assurance of having the enn ningest baby on the grounds, cannot make hafidsome, while the elderly women are often positively repellant in their ugliness. "Where are all the pretty'girls and beauti ful women that will be seen later in the sea son? Gone to the beach, to tbe mountain, to the farm, many, it may be, for the day only. These are onr working contingent, who keep the innumerable wheels of indus try in motion and have no time to cultivate graces. The men are as ngly as the women, and the social philosopher- sees a long line of hard toiling, poorly fed and housed an cestry, which has brought these painful re sults! The reformers should see to it. Folks are not born right, and lovers of the beauti ful are defrauded and abused by such sights in their Sunday rambles. CUPID HOLDS HIS COTJBT. It yon want to see real, old-fashioned, Jionest, shy, delicious love making don't go to tne summer resorts, stay in town, Tor it is here in all its I-mean-business and wiJl-you-marry-me downrigbtness. The August moon looks down in mellow approval of lots of it in the smaller parks, and on Sundays in the big Central Cupid holds his conrt withont any thought of a pun and divides tbe honors with the musicians. The pedes trian must tread the straight and narrow path of concrete 'and keep his eyes to him self, lest he intercept a tender glance, or see clasped hands hastily withdrawn, or stum ble on a couple in "the midst of a declara tion under the lee ot a flint-hearted rock. And one easily gets into sympathy with it, albeit Phyllis has on a last year's frock, worn and faded, and Strephon is in his shirt sleeves, with soil ot last week's toil still darkening his finger nails. One touch of nature makes the whole world kin, yon know, and the park is very attractive, in its human aspects, even with "everybody out of town." Whether a girl be rich or poor, bright or dull, she knows the unwritten law forbid ding her to say to her lover: "Will yon marry me?" She is technically no breaker of that law, but very often she violates its spirit. She resorts to trick and device to make a man utter the question; and, on tbe other hand, if she be a considerate, good-natured creature, she will try to prevent it in a Rorina's Bat Batted Away. case wherein her answer must be no. I have been an eye-and-ear-witness, within a week, to an illustration of both the things that I mean. HOW MASY WOEKBD it. My young friend Mary has been beset all summer by a yonnr fellow who evidently was deeply enamored of her, but whom she couldn't possibly love. He refused to un derstand her negative feeling, and quiet hints were lost on him. At leDgth, in the moonlight on a beach. h usid in hT ; a lovesick way: "I have something particular to tell, but it is rather a long story." !'3 tlke yonr own tim." te replied. "Thank you," and he settled himself for a very exhaustive account of bis passion. "Take your own time, I said," the girl in terrupted; "don't take mine, for I've an en gagement to keep," and away she went It was only next day that the same Mary was with another fellow, at a little hop, and this was the cbao she wanted to marry. Bnt he was bashful, and had been trying in vain for a week as she well knew to plnck up the. .courage to declare his love. Well, tbev came to a crowded doorway, and she had to relinquish his arm m oraer to get tnrougn. "After yon," he murmured, as he dropped politely behlnd"her. "Are you?" she laid, looking back Into his face with the archest possible glsnee.. And before'the ensuing wslts was dent he had popped the question. A BITOJVHTrMAW JTATUSX. How is it that, with a few brilliant mm k a fmmM eeptions, those girls who really can do any. thing for the entertainment of their friends are so full of excuses and reasons why they can't and shouldn't, while those who can't do anything are so ready, so fatally willing, to do it? What logical reason can bo brought forward as to why it should almost require a surgical operation to get a girl with a good voice to open her mouth, while it is almost equally difficult to get those wbo can't sing at all to refrain from setting one's teeth on edge? What is the entire history of the Sphinx? Who was the Man with the Iron Mask? These questions are qnite on a par to far as their nnanswerability goes. Further, it is possible, though by no means certain, that yon have now and again met a person who really doesn't sing. Cast your memory back to the time when yon said smilingly to him or her, "Will yon sing something now?" What did he or she reply? "I only sing in church" that was it, wasn't it? Now, in ttie name of all that's wonderful, what have those church-goers who possess that most sensitive of all gifts, a mnsical ear, done, that they shonld ba tortured as they are? One Bunday last spring I went over to Talmage's services. The music there is exceptionally good a splendid organ and a silver-toned instru ment in the hands of a master making a melody as unique as it is beautiful. Tha closing hymn was given ont Sullivan's beautiful "Onward Christian Soldiers" and with" the glorious burst of melody one conld almost hear the tramp of heaven bound marching feet. MUSIC AT ITS W0B3T. In following them I was soon lost in s world far more beautiful than this, when crange, crack, crankl cringe, crank crickl and down I came with a tremendons thump from Olympus to Hades. To the right, a voice like keys being turned in rusty locks; to the left, someone sang alto two notes behind everyone, and one out of tune; in front, bu. turned toward me, a voice, whosa melody was that of a comb and tissue paper, quavered forth a tune which I had never heard beloret Behind me an ambitious female tried to lead everyone, and sang lustily a semitone too high. When the first agony of the situation wore off I lonud myself miserably wondering whether they oi the Light Brigade conld possibly have felt as uncomfortable as I did, and at the close of the hymn I sat down, feeling as if I had been scratching paving stones or dry sponges with, my finger-nails for two or three S X Only Bmg in Church. weeks. Little do those who "only sing in church" know of what sins they are indi rectly guiltyl Ton won't run across a gayer girl in New Tork than Bosina Girard. ,Ob, that name will not find her out for you. It is genuine, but Bosina is not conspicuous enough for anyone to know or care any more about her than is gained from the simple little inci dent in her life - that I am going to relate. Bosina is a true child ot the cafes, not bad but horribly indiscreet, looking like a Parisian woman of fashion in a linen dress and with a wonderfully saucy flower in her cheap hat, and living on vegetables in order to wear fine shoes and six-button gloves. BOMANCE OP A HAT. One dav last week Bosina and a girl friend that works in the same shop with her got a half holiday and went away down to the Monmouth Park races. They both had return tickets and nothing else in their pock ets, but the gorgeous crowd was sufficient, and as they quivered with excitement over the racing, they gazed about with as proud an air as the rarest and richest woman to be seen. While one race was in progress a sudden breeze lifted Bosina's little hat from her head, and in falling from the grand stand to the ground it struck lightly upon the shoulder of a handsome young man who was watching the battle of tbe horses through a pair of field glasses. He looked np and his eyes met tbe sparking ones of Bosina, who was holding out her hand at him to in dicate that the hat belonged to her. Now it happens that the young man who rescued the pretty Bosina's hat was a very fashionable and proud youug man of the elubs, and had her radiant face not attract ed him a good deal he would have got her hat into her possession in another way than by taking it to her himself. But being im mediately put under a spell by her frank gaze, the elegant young man went to Bosina and handed to her the hat. He then lingered and spoke with the pretty creature, asking if she liked racing, and finally it she liked champagne. A wine dinner ensued in the race course restaurant, and the two girls did nothing which the richest belles from Mur ray Hill might not have done without scan dal. A OUT OF DAISIES. But this is a sentimental bit of a story, and here is tbe reason why the champagne which Bosina drank had a more bitter fla vor than she would have found in tha cheapest beer quaffed with an eligible sweetheart. The fashionable yonth was talkative, and he confessed to Bosina that he was to be married within a very few days. She looked at his handsome face and sighed. Such as he was not for her. He was gentle, refined and generous, and she a vulgar thing that took his fancy for a moment. "That bunch of daisies at your neck re minds me of Lillian," said the voung man across his glass. "Lillian is my fiancee, yon know. She has very simple tastes. Wears daisies in preference to any other flower." The day went by an'd the youth was charmed. Bosina was demure, quiet and tantalizing. Later they stood together at Bosina's door. "Perhaps I might be permitted to call oa you?" said tbe young man. Bosina looked' at him a moment, and then said: "No. I would prefer to have yon say goodby to me here. I have had a very pleasant day, and I don't want to spoil tha memory of it. Good night." The fashionable yonng man was out in the street alone. He may have been angry as he walked away. On the appointed day he was married. Of course there were nnmerous presents of great value. One of tbe oddest remembrances received by the bride was a bnnch of daisies tied prettily by a ribbon. On a card attached to this modest offering was inscribed, Bosina Girard. When the bride attracted tba groom's attention to the nosieshe declared thsfbeknew no Miss Girard, though ha flushed a bit as he made the statement. Claba Bells. gammer Complaint. A druggist at Britt, Hancock county, la., relates his experience with this disease as follows: During tbe summer of 1882 my little girl, 2 years of age, was taken seriously ill with summer complaint, so common to children of that age, and after being treated by a physician and getting no better, I took from my shelves a bottle ot Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy.
